California Privacy Rights

Under California law, California residents who have provided personally identifiable information to a company may have the right to request a list of all third parties to whom that company had disclosed such information for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes during the preceding calendar year, along with a list of the categories of Personal Information that had been so disclosed. This Privacy Policy, as disclosed on this Website, does not currently permit LW to share the Personal Information collected at this Website about you with non-affiliated third parties for such third parties’ direct marketing purposes without your prior consent. If you are a California resident who would like information on how to exercise your rights concerning third party disclosures, you may send an email to hello@drinklocalweather.com

Collection and Use of Information

    The Personal Information We Collect.

This Policy applies to all information collected by or submitted to drinklocalweather.com. We consider “personal information” to mean information about an identifiable individual. If you make purchases from or through the Website or open an account, or engage in other activities on the Site, you will be asked to provide a variety of information including, but not limited to, your name, mailing address, email address, phone number, and information about you.

    Financial Information.

LW may require billing and payment information such as credit and debit card information when you purchase items from the Website and/or create an account. However, all payment transactions entered into on the Website are processed by Shopify, a third-party payment processor. You will provide your payment information to Shopify, and Shopify’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service will govern use and disclosure of that information. We encourage you to read carefully Shopify’s Privacy Policy
and Terms of Service (collectively, “Shopify’s Policies”).

    IP Address.

An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer by your internet service provider when you log on. Your IP address is not linked to your Personal Information but LW does reserve the right to use IP addresses to identify individuals who threaten the Website or other users or visitors. IP addresses may also be used to help diagnose problems with the Website and to gather broad demographic information.

    Other Information.

When you access the Website, LW will automatically receive some information about your use of the service. The type of information that is automatically collected by LW includes such things as the date and time of access of the Site, the Internet protocol (IP) address of the computer that you are using, the domain and host from which you access the Internet, your browser software and operating system, the referring website address, and the kinds of business activities you are engaged in while using the Site. This information is used to help us improve and enhance the website to better meet the needs of its users.

LW will also aggregate Personal Information and may use, share and disclose such aggregated Personal Information as permitted by law. For example, we may use such aggregated Personal Information for research and product development purposes, and may also share such aggregated Personal Information with LW’s business partners.

Regardless of whether a User has chosen to limit LW’s sharing of Personal Information as collected on the Website, LW may, without restriction, use, share and disclose aggregated statistics about Users, along with specific information concerning individual Users that is not Personal Information in any way permitted by applicable law.

Additionally, Shopify will be the e-commerce platform on which the LW Website operates. Shopify collects certain aggregate data, as well as certain personal information, as identified in this Privacy Policy and in Shopify’s Policies. We encourage you to read carefully Shopify’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service for detailed information about the data collected by Shopify.

Use of Cookies, Web Beacons and Pixel Tags; Use of Google

The Website may make use of: (i) “cookies” – small data files which we may send to your computer on the basis of the information that we have collected about your visit; (ii) “web beacons” – small strings of code that provide a graphic image that surveys visitors’ internet activity; and (iii) pixels tags. They contain information allowing us to recognize when you are visiting the Site and to keep track of your preferences. Through the use of cookies, pixel tags and web beacons, we also may automatically collect information about your online activity on our Site, such as the links you click and the searches you conduct on our Site. Cookies are stored in your computer’s browser or on your hard drive and can then be retrieved by the Site. Two kinds of cookies may be used: so-called “session” cookies, which are deleted from your computer when you leave the Site and are used purely to help you to navigate around the Site; and “persistent” cookies, which remain on your computer so that the Site can recognize you when you return.

If you want to delete any cookies that were already sent to your computer, please refer to your web browser’s “Help” facility. In addition, most web browsers can be set to prevent you from receiving new cookies, notify you before accepting cookies or disable cookies altogether. Details about this can normally be found in the “Help” facility provided with your browser. Please note that if you disable cookies you may not be able to take advantage of some of the Site’s interactive functionality.

LW uses a web analytics tool called Google Analytics that helps website and mobile application owners understand how visitors engage with their websites. We can view a variety of reports about how visitors interact with our Site so we can improve it. Google Analytics collects information anonymously. Google Analytics uses cookies, and IP addresses, and reports website trends without identifying individual visitors. In the event a visitor to the Site voluntarily submits contact information to Google Analytics, that company may then associate such information with the applicable IP address to enable us to see that visitor’s specific interactions with our Site. For more information related to Google Analytics, click here. You can opt-out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-On. For information about and to install Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, click here.

Do Not Track Signals

Certain web browsers provide users with an option by which you may have your browser send a “Do Not Track” signal to websites that you are visiting, advising the recipient websites that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. However, the way browsers communicate such “Do Not Track” signals is not yet uniform and, accordingly, our Website does not take any action in response to such signals. In the event a final standard is developed and accepted, we may reassess how we should respond to such signals.

Your Consent

In General

We only collect, use and/or disclose your Personal Information with your consent, which may be express or implied. When you interact with the Website, you are giving your consent to collect and maintain your personal information; to use your Personal Information to communicate with you electronically and otherwise; and to track your activities on the Site using cookies and other tracking devices. We do not and will not share your Personal information with third parties for marketing and/or other purposes unless we first obtain your express consent.

You must be 16 years of age to use the Site. LW does not knowingly collect or maintain any Personal Information from children under the age of 13, and no part of this Site is designed with the purpose of attracting such children. This Website is intended for Users who reside in the United States. If you use the Site from any country outside the United States, the various communications will necessarily result in the transfer of information across international boundaries. By visiting the Site, you consent to these transfers.

In all of our electronic communications you will be given the opportunity to opt out of receiving future communications.

      Lawful Access, Legal Action and Investigations.

    Your Personal Information may otherwise be disclosed to non-affiliated third parties as either permitted by, or to comply with, applicable laws and regulations. Your Personal Information may be transmitted through and stored on servers outside your home country, and may be accessed by authorities in those jurisdictions. We may disclose Personal Information if we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected illegal activities or fraud, situations involving the physical safety of any person, violations of our Terms and Conditions of Use, or otherwise in accordance with applicable law.

      Disclosure of Personal Information to Non-Affiliated Third Parties.

    In addition to the above disclosures, LW may share your Personal Information, without restriction, with companies and organizations that we retain to perform services for us, such as those that provide data processing, computer software maintenance and development, and companies providing professional, legal or accounting advice to us. In such situations, LW requires that these companies and organizations agree to (a) maintain the confidentiality of the Personal Information, and (b) limit the use of such Personal Information to the purposes for which it was provided. We will not sell, rent or market Personal Information collected on this LW to non-affiliated third parties for their marketing purposes, unless we have your consent. However, we may disclose aggregated statistics about visitors to the Site, along with anonymous information concerning individual users of the Site. We may combine anonymous information and/or aggregate information we collect with additional anonymous and/or aggregate information collected from other sources. We may share anonymous information (including aggregate information) we collect regarding our users with third parties (such as advisors, and/or consultants) for various business purposes including conducting general business analysis, and developing website content and services.

      Acquisition of Business.

    In the event that LW, or an affiliate of LW is involved in a merger, acquisition, consolidation, restructuring, reorganization, liquidation, sale or similar transaction relating to any portion of its business and/or assets, or in the unlikely event that LW goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, each User hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Site, all data collected on the Site (including Personal Information still within our possession, custody or control), and any of our rights and obligations under this Privacy Policy may be included in the assets of, and/or transferred pursuant to, such transaction, and that any acquirer or successor (or a third party through bankruptcy) of LW may continue to use the Personal Information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. If that occurs, a notice will be posted to such effect on the Website and/or notification will be provided by any other media or contact method as may be required by applicable laws and regulations.

      Retention of Personal Information.

    Personal Information is retained to deliver our services, to otherwise fulfill identified or apparent purposes, and Personal Information may be retained for record-keeping. At some point LW may elect to destroy, erase or anonymize your Personal Information. Once anonymized, we undertake not to re-identify the information.

    Links to Other Site and Services

    The Site may contain links to various other sites which may ask to collect user information voluntarily or otherwise collect certain information (for example, your IP address). Please be aware that these other websites may have different privacy policies that may subject users to different privacy practices. Please review the privacy policies of such other websites for information concerning what information is collected on such websites and how it is used.

    Our website also includes social media features, such as the Facebook “like” button and widgets, the “Share this” button or other interactive mini-programs that run on our site. These features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our site, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social media features and widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Site. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing the feature, which we encourage you to review.

    Information Storage and Protection

    LW will maintain reasonable procedures to protect the security and confidentiality of Personal Information provided to it by Users, in accordance with applicable law.
    There are industry standard safeguards in place to protect Users’ Personal Information, such as the use of firewalls and SSL certificates, and limiting access to such information by company personnel. Personal Information will be stored in databases and servers located in the United States. However, no transmission made through the internet can be made completely secure, and accordingly, we will not be liable for the disclosure of any Users’ Personal Information that occurs as a result of transmission errors or the actions of any third party to the fullest extent permitted by law.

    In the unlikely event that we determine that there may have been a security breach that results in the unauthorized disclosure of Personal Information to a third party, LW will promptly notify consumers whose Personal Information it reasonably believes may have been compromised by posting information on the Website and, if email contact is possible, then also by sending an email notification with respect to the situation.
